  • Take a print of your etching using pencil and paper to see how many marks are showing up.  You may need to revisit areas and refine areas to ensure you show darker areas.  This helps to highlight form.

    Watch the process of taking a print without using the printing press.  

       

    When you think you have made enough marks, have a go at making a print without the press.  At the conclusion of your effort, make sure that you wash your plastic plate thoroughly to get rid of the existing ink still stuck in the marks made.
